Brilliant!
As ever, thanks for clearing that up attila77.

The "million dollar" question is....
Do you have any idea when we can expect maemo 6 to be released to the public?

Is it the same release as expected in October or will that be just the reference UI?

If this is truly the case that's fine - Maemo 6 is released as a "version" of meego then "real" meego is released on new device in 2011.

I just wish Nokia would formally announce something like this!
E.g. by a Director or Product Manager.

Instead it has to be explained by good people like Attila77 & qgil.
